The never ending Covid? [View all]

I was diagnosed two weeks ago. Was prescribed Paxlovid and Benzonatate for cough.

Was immediately feeling better. I spent several nights on an easy chair in the den. Did not help, spouse had it two days after me, but is not allowed Paxlovid. We both postponed doctors appointments.

Last week spouse tested the kit - bright red line.

Two says later I did - a faint one. OK.

And today, spouse's test is weak and mine is bright red.

What is going on? I talked to a nurse who said that these positives could last for weeks but that i should not worry. As long as i don't have a fever I am no longer contagious. More than ten days. Just continue with routine tasks including seeing a medical provider.

OKay..
